Healthy Food Day!

Last Monday, 7th graders joined their English teachers in the new area available for lunch in our school, known as “Patio de las Palmeras”, to enjoy their delicious home-made meals and promote healthy eating habits among students. The purpose of this event was to reflect upon the importance of choosing healthy food over fast-food products, especially since the vast majority of our student body is very keen on sports and regular exercise (having a sports programme of six hours each week plus rugby matches at weekends). Students even brought posters promoting healthy eating habits and healthy food. This comes at a critical time for our country, since the Encuesta Nacional de Salud (ENS) published the hard fact that 39% of students older that 15 are overweight, and that 300 thousand people currently suffer from morbid obesity.
